How should a Christian respond to human trafficking? In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally tackles this subject head on. 

Human trafficking is coerced work. Two main types: sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking.

What you should know about human trafficking:

1. The Bible teaches against all slavery.

Exodus 21:16, 1 Timothy 1:10 

2. Sex is not for sale. 

1 Cor. 6:15-20 

Sex is spiritual glue and is unsafe without the commitment of marriage. 

3. Pedophilia is not a valid sexual orientation. 

Matthew 18:6 

4. Money is the root cause behind most trafficking.

1 Timothy 6:9-10  

Both the love of money and lack of money cause people to do terrible things. 

How should a Christian respond to this crisis?

No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. 

1. Stop looking at porn.

Christians are called to be protectors, not predators.

2. Get involved. 

Learn to notice risk factors: controlled movement, lack of earnings, submissive behavior, foreign, substance abuse, physical abuse. 

Groups to support: International Justice Mission, A21

The church has a long history of righting societal wrongs and being the world’s conscience. 

3. Pray.

Pray for slaves. Pray for slave owners. Every pursuit of sin is really just a search for Jesus.
